Ramalingeshwara Temple Complex, Avani

Ramalingeshwara Temple Complex at Avani is not only a place of religious and historical importance, but also archaeological wonder. I visited this temple with my family when I went on a tour of Mulubagal district.



This temple complex at the base of hillock is constructed in 10th century  by Nolamba dynasty and later renovated by the rulers of Chola dynasty.



This huge temple complex has many temples and they are:

  14. Those rocks look poised to tumble at any moment. And yet they haven't. The temple complex lives on. Stunning craftmanship in the detail of this structure.

  17. I hope that in your India the skills that it took to creat these beautiful temples have passed down through the generations so they are not lost. Our country doesn't have a long history, but already the skilled craftmanship of our short past is disappearing ... what a shame. These are beautiful,Rajesh ... Thank you for sharing them.
